BC Cancer Agency, Centre for the Southern Interior Strategic plan
The plan was developed by the Leadership Team and department specific representatives during the summer of 2006. The goal was to develop a plan that interprets the vision and direction of the BC Cancer Agency, while honouring and celebrating the unique values, culture and needs of the Southern Interior. Also a goal was to develop a plan that would be readily received by a wide audience while being practical, feasible and exciting:
This plan outlines four broad goals:
- To make the BC Cancer Agency, Centre for the Southern Interior the best place to work
- To develop academic curiosity and use the strengths of our Centre to improve quality of care
- To enhance our capability to provide excellent care across our region
- To foster an environment that supports innovation in our strategic areas of priority
BC Cancer Foundation in the Southern Interior is part of a unique partnership to build a free standing hospice in Kelowna
“Holding Hands for Hospice” is a unique partnership of the BC Cancer Foundation, the Kelowna General Hospital Foundation and the Central Okanagan Hospice Association. The goal is to raise $3 million to build and equip a 24-bed, free-standing hospice on the historical W.A.C. Bennett homestead. Walter Gray, former Kelowna mayor and local broadcasting icon, chairs the campaign. The campaign launched in May 2006 and is expected to wrap up by September 2007.
Research and education will be part of the new hospice. In addition to providing patients with highly-specialized and sophisticated care, the new facility will also conduct palliative care and pain and symptom research and provide education programs.
